30 Questions About Me

We are on a quick family vacation to Texas for a cousin’s wedding and since I am with my parents (and they are more than happy to entertain Luna every second of the day), I have this weird thing called “free time”. It’s possibly the best feeling I’ve ever had. In any case, I’m in the mood to write and recently came across this survey in Hellogiggles.com – “30 questions you should ask your best friend”. I figure we’re pretty close, right? So, I might as well go ahead and answer them for you…

A veterinarian until I realized that you have to deal with sick animals and then, a meteorologist. In fact, I still often watch the weather channel for fun.

3. Who do you think should run for president in two years?

Ellen DeGeneres…well someone like her, but with lots of political experience.

4. What’s the best book you’ve read so far this year? Ever?

Ummm, Big Girls Wear Panties?? I only have time for children’s books, stop judging me! I did just start The Girl in the Spider’s Web, the new book in the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series.

Death, cockroaches and being alone with my thoughts

8. If you had the option of adopting a baby fox or baby koala, which one would you choose?

Both! No way I could choose one over the other.

9. What’s your dream job?

Well, I LOVED being a full-time stay-at-home-mom, but since I can’t do that forever and it’s not technically a job… I’d like to teach in an atmosphere that gives me the freedoms to teach creatively, and not be controlled by test scores and mountains of paperwork. I’d also like to get paid to travel the world… So maybe a blogger that reviews the world’s most unique destinations? Yeah…that sounds good.

10. Who is your favorite mythological god/goddess?

Hmm, Artemis, I guess. Goddess of the hunt, wilderness, animals, young girls, childbirth, plague and the moon.

As humiliating as it might be, an AOL E-mail address.

Duck! I want to be in the water all the time, duck my head in for fish and shake my tail feathers all cute like.

14. What do you love about yourself most?

I’ve always had a high metabolism.

15. What don’t you like so much?

Acne problems and my inability to say “no”.

16. Rugrats or Doug?

Ah, it’s like Sophie’s choice! Doug, because he had The Beets.

17. Which house would you belong to in Game of Thrones? Like, very honestly.

Okay, honestly, I was going to just say House of Targaryn because that’s my fav, but I just googled it, because how do you actually know what house you should be in? Turns out it depends on your hair and eye color. So, then I guess I’m in the House of Lannistet of Lannisport.

18. If you got a (new) tattoo, what would it be of?

A moon for Luna, because I’m a cheesy Mom.

19. What would you like to eat for your last meal?
